In 1995, after five years of research and development, Gérald Genta unveiled the Grande Sonnerie, the most sophisticated and complex wristwatch in the world at the time. Perhaps Genta’s most important contribution to high watchmaking. Before this, the Grand Sonnerie had only existed as a pocket watch. Genta made 20 in total, each of which is unique. Designs for three of these are included in this sale.
Designed and hand painted in 1990, this Grand Complication features Worldtime, minute repeating, perpetual calendar and tourbillon mechanism.
